Default Protection of many sheets

Harald Staff<

I have a similar situation as Adam. I have a workbook in which my Project
Managers in the field must fill out at the end of each week till the end of
the year. All the sheets are identical and I want to lock down the formulas
but allow them to fill in the required cells on a weekly basis. Is there a
way to lock down all the sheets and identical cells without having to do it
for each one?

Hi

Not without macro code. Here it is:

Sub LockEm()
Dim i As Long
Dim PW As String
Dim WS As Worksheet
PW = InputBox("Password:")
On Error GoTo MyErr
For Each WS In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
WS.Protect (PW)
Next
MsgBox i & " errors while protecting", vbInformation
Exit Sub
MyErr:
i = i + 1
Resume Next
End Sub

Sub UnLockEm()
Dim i As Long
Dim PW As String
Dim WS As Worksheet
PW = InputBox("Password:")
On Error GoTo MyErr
For Each WS In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
WS.Unprotect (PW)
Next
MsgBox i & " errors while unprotecting", vbInformation
Exit Sub
MyErr:
i = i + 1
Resume Next
End Sub

HTH. Best wishes Harald

I have a workbook with 50 sheets. I would like to protect all of these

sheets
with the same password at the same time. i.e. i do not want to protect the
workbook but every single sheet and I don't want to go through every sheet
protecting it.
Is this possible?
